The funny thing is this is a net gain for Woody. His movie probably didn't get a boost but I guarantee his IMDB and Wikipedia got way more traffic because of this. He just needs to come on and do a real AMA and he can become one of Reddits folk heros. Easy peasy.

Your post is contradictory and strange. You begin with an ad hominem against me and then the next line seems to agree with me.

In response to your ad hominem, I say bully to you. It was nonsensical. I am not a professional reddit poster and my criticism was based on authority. In response to your other point, what is mediocre is always popular. It has never been any different.

I was kind of disappointed that was the top question (and by a mile). It was completely baseless, and should have just been buried. I think Woody spent more time on it than he should have, given a two-clause answer instead of one.

I do think the amount of people 'sticking it to him' and calling him things like 'money grabbing cunt' and 'shameless plugging whore' is borderline ridiculous and really shows the immaturity of the vast majority of the people who post on Reddit.

The guy was doing interviews all day about his new film - he had about an hour slot to come on Reddit and answer questions, it said that in the AMA post, the tweet announcing the AMA was tweeted from @Rampart_Movie... it's clear that they slotted Reddit AMA into that day thinking that's how it worked, thinking it was just part of this day of film plugging, people ask you questions and you get to plug new stuff. There is nothing wrong with doing what you thought you were supposed to be doing. It's his job. The person that thought that an AMA would be a good place to plug the film was who fucked up - they are to blame.

I don't think they blame him so much for the fuck EDIT: up as much as the way he seemed to handle it. He basically answered a few questions and left. No apologies for the fuck up, more of a "oh shit, this isn't going well, I'm outta here" attitude.

I really dont think he knew what an AMA thing actually was. I imagine he was set up to do it under the impression that it was a promotion thing for his movie, and he got swamped with a ton of personal questions. For him, it was the equivalent of going on a talk show to promote his movie, and Conan Obrien asks him if he was molested as a child.

I've seen two pedo amas, one was a guy, and the other was a girl, the girl was about a month earlier, i was surprised how much less sympathy the one from the woman got, and a lot more pervy questions too.

If you want to see some of the shit on reddit check out /r/shitredditsays. It is a little over the top, and over sensitive at times, but it does highlight some genuinely horrible stuff on here.

SRS (while it certainly does highlight some pretty rank stuff) make me realise that while there are so many things that people say on the internet casually that no one would utter in real life, there is a level of sensitivity on the internet that would seem ridiculous in a casual real life setting.

That is true, but that that doesn't make it any better. Saying things you shouldn't because you're anonymous just reinforces the whole rational about atheists not being moral because they don't believe in religion. We're only good when we think there's consequences, and when we think people are watching. The true measure of a persons character isn't what they say or do when people are watching. It's what they say and do when they know there's no consequences.

It's why i don't give much credence to "well it's the internet grow a thicker skin". If you're an asshole online, and a paragon of society in real life, that just means, deep down you're an asshole.

Maybe he/whoever organized it didn't know what AMA meant. Obviously, he came to talk about the movie. He said up front he only wanted to talk about the movie. I don't understand why people are throwing a bitch fit over this. He stated it up front.

No it's not. It'd be like going to a subreddit and saying up front you want to talk about your movie, only to have a mob get pissed and hate on you when they realize you want to talk about your movie. Apparently this mod is illiterate since it can't read the original message. If someone tells you up front they don't want to do something, do you get pissed and try to force them to do it?

AMA = Ask Me Anything
Did Woody Harrelson allow people to ask him anything? No. Thus, he was not following the intent of the subreddit. No matter how many times he says that he only wants to talk about the movie, that does not mean the subreddit magically changes to "ask me about my movie." You wouldn't post pictures of your lunch to /r/Gaming, saying "I don't want to talk about games, I want to talk about my lunch." Because that's just stupid.

Stll, I think the person who posted the comment about the one night stand was in the wrong. Calling someone out in a public forum about a private matter is definitely uncalled for. If he had that much of a problem with it, he should have PMed him or contacted his agent. Secondly, if I lost my virginity to a one-night-stand to a celebrity after the after-prom drunk-fest, the only thing I would be crying about is that I was so excited I came in 2 seconds and too drunk to get it up for another go-around. Thirdly, Roxanna or Rosaline or whatever the hell her name is, I strongly believe in taking responsibility for my actions. Whether she likes to think of it this way or not, the truth is that she made that decision, drunk or not, she made that decision herself and nobody forced her.

I don't think that has anything to do with it, really. His PR person obviously both underestimated the volume of questions they would receive and misunderstood the very nature of an AMA, which it would have taken, I don't know, five minutes to learn about? It was a train wreck because no one knew what was happening, which made Woody's quick, movie-related answers look awful and inconsiderate, which made Reddit retaliate. If is team would have done their homework, none of that would have happened.

The idea that no one took the time to actually READ a few AMAs is horrifying. Even then, the fact that he turned EVERY answer into a Rampart answer was saddening. "I don't think about other roles I've played if people don't bring them up. Rampart is the best thing I've been in ever." ... It just seemed kinda "blah." It's like going to a concert and hearing only songs from a new album 'cause they're plugging for sales.

There is nothing wrong with doing what you thought you were supposed to be doing.

Doesn't that entirely depend on what's actually being done? If I think I'm supposed to murder a bag full of puppies, it's still wrong.

His mistake was participating in a web site without knowing some basic things about it. That's easily remedied in like 2 minutes, but NOPE his time is too damn valuable for that! So people made fun of him for it, as should be expected of anyone.

And what else would you expect? Him denying it? At best you'd get some lie about I had to go to an important business meeting in XXXYYY, which some idiot movie buff would go into stupid lengths to debunk.

Ignoring it was the best choice, and reddit does what reddit best. Started a mob.

I'm not arguing that he shouldn't have ignored that particular question.

I was just pointing out that the reason people are criticizing him is that he did a bit of hit-n-run, or one might say, ram-n-part, on the AMA, rather than actually stay and answer questions.

I think it's pretty obvious that Woody and his handlers didn't understand the AMA format, but they did leave clues that they didn't in the AMA post, so the the folks who up-voted the post are probably more to blame for that mistake.

I don't get why so many people take the random Internet man for his word on something like that. For a group of people that claim to look at everything with scepticism they do tend to believe any well delivered anecdote without any proof whatsoever.

Its just people hopping on the anonymous internet bandwagon to try and make fun of someone who is famous/rich. It probably didn't ruin his day one bit to be honest, he most likely though Reddit is a bunch of retards.

My favorite part was when someone said "It was still a skeeze thing to do". It's a one night stand. It's a one night stand with a celebrity even. How are you that out of touch with reality to expect Woody Harrelson to keep calling you to check up on if you're still watching the newest season of Gossip Girl?

Fucking exactly, if anything, I see the whole situation as a bit sad... I mean how can that girl think she's so damn special that a fucking celebrity is going to be sure to call her every day after having sex with her once? It's very obvious that she banged him just because of his status, and then expects him to call back? After she used him because he's famous she cries about him using her? Like what the hell did she expect? I guarantee you at that same party there were a bunch of her friend-zoned guy friends watching in terror as she goes and fucks Woody Harrelson just because he's a star.

Edit: It's almost as if she played every other guy and lead every other guy on because she wanted whoever she lost her v-card to to be famous.

I agree to a certain point, but shamelessly fucking a celebrity on your prom night when you probably had a date that you just left standing in the cold because you'd rather fuck someone famous... I guess you could chalk it up as being teenage stupidity, but I've been 18 before, so have a lot of my friends and none of them were that stupid. It's kind of surprising how many people are saying "She's just a teenager, she didn't know any better" We're talking about adults here, not 13 year olds. How old would she have to be for people to say "Ok yeah, she's just a dumb slut"?

Well the OP of the story actually hinted that she was somewhere "around 18" so as far as the legal distinction between child and adult we don't really know. I mean I can name at least a dozen things I did between the ages of 16-18 that while maybe having not been as downright clueless as that girl was were way more stupid in a reckless sense. For example I believed that I could not get addicted to drugs because I was too "mentally strong" and that only stupid people could get addicted. Plain ignorance. Also I knew many a 16-18 year old girl who would have definitely been this clueless, and I betchya many of them still are in their early 20's. Given I grew up in a kinda trashy place where intelligence and understanding of social norms was at a minimum, but still, stupid kids are stupid. I would say if you are still this particular brand of stupid when you are about 19-21, I know its like a one year distinction but at least for me personally it was a huge transition, than the chick is just a "dumb slut."

Baalruns are always a must. What am I going to do actually play Diablo to level????

I think the real que here is that it was a girl. Women are bad at everything, driving, not being bitches, and making good decisions about men. And around women, men think with their dicks, so you get equal levels of stupidity and babies are made.

I'll just leave this here, I asked this girl out to prom, I was fucking nervous as hell and when she said yes I was so fucking happy. A couple of days later she pulls me aside in the hallway and tells me she can't go with me. Heart broken a friend went with me. Low and behold I see herthere by herself and I never did get a good answer why she didn't go with me. But ya

From the way the story went, it looked like she came onto him as soon as her arrived. So I don't see how he did anything wrong, she wanted to do a celebrity and got what she wanted. Expecting a call is fucking stupid

What? Nobody said anything about rape. To be fair, I have heard these things about Woody before (he was in my college town a few years ago and I heard several second hand accounts of him going off with a bunch of different girls).

Reddit: shoots down most of the outrageous claims that make it to the front page, especially the sensationalist stuff from places like /r/wtf, /r/pics,, /r/politics, etc. Piss off Reddit, it's different.

This is very possible and I lean more towards that possibility. But the more insane thing is that even if it did happen it was a clear one night stand at a high school prom after party with a celebrity.

You have to be fairly delusional that the high school student who slept with you that night would call you back, let a lone a major celebrity.

I do as well and that post had no proof of any sort and no one asked for any. Everybody just bought into it.

Some stories I just assume are try because they are amusing but believable but that was a pretty striking story that had no proof other than the poster saying "I swear this is true..." A lot of fucking good that statement does on the internet.

Whatever happened to skepticism? Why do all of you trust a story that has no photographic evidence? Or any other real evidence otherwise? He provided a name and a hotel name and was ambiguous about the year. From the little gif stoy he told he says that they wondered who the older dude was who walked in. So he isn't even sure it was Woody in the first place. Add on it was "somewhere between 13 or 20 years ago, give or take a few years" and you could have a very fuzzy memory of a drunken party that took place after prom in a hotel.

TL;DR it doesn't take a detective to know that this story has the makings of what could be absolute bullshit.

But...but...if I ever found a girl who was willing to get within 5 feet of me I would love her and cherish her forever and never ever say anything bad about her ever because every woman is beautiful and perfect and I will protect them from mean men on the internet who say the word "bitch" or sleep with them without falling in love forever! All guys who get laid are obviously misogynists who don't deserve the women who sleep with them, only I do!

...why can't I get laid reddit? I better go back to my friends at SRS who will remind me how much women love guys like me...

It is like large portions of reddit can't grasp what casual sex and a one night stand are.

I feel like it is wrong to date a girl for a week or two, have sex with her and then dump her but if you just meet up one night and sleep with each other with no real background on each other you can't expect it to go anywhere.

k, this Woody shit is old. Get over it, stop karma whoring, and move on. I expect some creative and interesting posts by tomorrow, not this lacklustre repetitive bullshit I've had the unfortunate chance of laying my eyes on.

I knew I couldn't be the only one thinking that this was a ridiculous criticism to level at Woody Harrelson. God forbid women are allowed to make their own decisions and held fully accountable for their actions!

But he "took" her virginity. It was all him, you see. He took it. Nevermind that society forces men into the role of pursuer and most women expect it, they're also blamed if the woman isn't happy with the encounter for whatever reason.

Huh... after reading the comments here, I realize I had seriously underestimated the number of redditors who have trouble with reading comprehension.

"High school prom" =/= "college party", for one, and obviously they didn't both go into it with the same expectations, which makes him a douche, regardless of fame.

Of course, that's assuming the story is true, which there's no evidence for. The reason he's being burned at the stake is simply because his AMA wasn't "ask me anything", it was "all movie answers".

You want to use Reddit to spread word of your upcoming movie? Fine. Do it like all the other celebrities and pay us in something worthwhile, such as a valuable, honest AMA. You want publicity through us without paying? Well, fuck you and everyone who looks like you. Burn.

It's the most effective free publicity he could have gotten, yet he seems to think it was owed to him.

Nobody is claiming it happened at a college party. The fact is the meme is called "sheltered college freshman" and was the best fit. If there was a meme called "ignorant high school chick" I would have used it instead.

Also I don't think there is much of a maturity difference between a high school senior and a college freshmen. For one they can be the same age and in some cases the college freshmen can be younger than a high school senior.

What I find hard to believe is that this community is actually believing the story of some random girl. Yeah the way he answered the question was kinda iffy, but does anyone have proof that Woody actually slept with a highschool girl? I mean come on Woody Harrelson is a multi-millionaire movie star and hes gonna go sleep with some bitch from a high school prom? I find that hard to believe.

It's sleazy, to say the least, for a guy in his forties or fifties to try to fuck high school virgins. When that guy is a celebrity, it's even sleazier because the disparity in experience and power magnified. Certainly, the girl was foolish for thinking some sort of relationship would blossom out of a one night stand with Woody from Cheers, but that's the point--that she was so inexperienced and he took advantage of that. This is, of course, assuming any of this is true.

Random in the sense I'm sure she wasn't planning on sleeping with a celebrity when she got up that morning, and random in the sense that if another celebrity had showed up instead of Woody odds are she would have slept with that guy too.

Here is a post i made on another one of these:Dude, are you fucking retarded? This isn't sheltered college freshman. This is scumbag college freshman if anything. Sheltered college freshman is for people who misunderstand sexual inuendo.
